Waverley Council celebrates International Women's Day 2025

Over the weekend, Bondi Pavilion came alive as the community gathered to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of Waverley Council’s International Women’s Day Award to renowned designer Camilla Franks, founder of Global Fashion House - Camilla. The award was presented by Mayor Will Nemesh, in recognition of Camilla’s extraordinary contributions to creativity and community.

The event featured an inspiring conversation between Camilla Franks and Michaela Kalowski, offering insights into resilience, leadership, and empowerment. All proceeds from the event ticket sales were donated to Women's Community Shelters, an organisation dedicated to providing safe accommodation for women and children escaping domestic violence.

Aligned with the UN Women's theme for this year, ‘March Forward,’ the celebration underscored the urgent need to advance gender equality.

Waverley Council remains committed to championing gender equality and celebrating the remarkable women in our community every day, not just on International Women’s Day, but every day in our lives and actions.
